Adaptive light functions
Concept
Adaptive light functions enable dynamic illumina‐
tion of the roadway.
General information
The adaptive light functions may consist of one
system or multiple systems, depending on the
equipment version:
▷ Adaptive Light Control, refer to page 153.
▷ Cornering light, refer to page 153.
Activating
Position of switch:
The adaptive light functions are active when the
drive-ready state is switched on.
Adaptive Light Control
Depending on the steering angle and other pa‐
rameters, the light from the headlight follows the
course of the road.
To avoid blinding oncoming traffic, the Adaptive
Light Control does not swivel to the opposite
lane when the vehicle is at a standstill.
Cornering light
In tight curves, for instance on mountainous
roads or when turning, an additional, cornering
light is switched on that lights up the inside of
the curve when the vehicle is moving below a
certain speed.
The cornering light is automatically switched on
depending on the steering angle or, where appli‐
cable, the use of turn signals.
